<p>With the proliferation of Internet, ERP systems like all the domains of Information Technology have known an important evolution. This final thesis project is a study about the evolution of ERP systems, more precisely about their migration to the Web giving birth to a new generation of systems: the Web-Based or Web-enabled ERP systems. This migration to the Web is justified by the difficulty of making possible the communication between partner’s legacy systems and the organizations’ ERP systems. A historical evolution of these systems is presented in order to understand the reasons that lead vendors to adopt the Web Service Technology. Based on different studies, the main technologies such as Web services, Service-Oriented Architecture and Web Application server are also presented. From an interpretative research approach mySAP ERP has been chosen as a case study. This Master’s thesis has been led into AIRBUS France Company within the framework of the SAP Customer Competence Center (SAPCCC) Web site project. The project is aimed at re-building the SAPCCC Web site. The new characteristic of the Web site is to make it accessible by all AIRBUS partners working with SAP applications. To make the Web site accessible by the partners from their own applications located on their own platforms the development has been done thanks to mySAP ERP which is an ERP using the Web service technology. Finally, this thesis presents a comparative study between traditional ERP systems and the new generation of Web-based ERP systems.</p>

This diploma thesis deals with the analysis and evaluation of one of the most important Business Intelligence platform in the BI market -- SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence 2004s. The main objective of the analysis is to provide reader with very comprehensive theoretical and practical platform overview that is based among others on valuable implementation of SAP NetWeaver BI sample application. The sample application not only allows better understanding of the platform, but also provides significant inputs to evaluation final phase. This evaluation is based on a metric system, which is defined as a part of this thesis as well. The evaluation result is then, apart from the quantitative quality interpretation of analyzed platform, included in a quality comparison (some areas) with BI platforms Oracle and Open Source Pentaho, whose evaluation and comparison have been made in diploma thesis [VÁLEK, 2008]. At the end of this thesis is then provided an overview of SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence 2004s strengths and weaknesses.

This master thesis was oriented to study of the development application possibilities in programming language ABAP in the information system mySAP. There were studied integration possibilities of SAP system with Adobe PDF forms and application MS Excel. Advantages and disadvantages of these two technologies were compared. The theoretical part of diploma thesis describes also the technology of SAP systems based on NetWeaver platform and the main product mySAP. The practical part describes a concrete business scenario of purchase order process where is also invoice verification list included. The result of the work is analysis, design and implementation of concrete solution for "invoice verification list" generating in SAP system. A development SAP VUT application was used for implementation and testing.

Main goal of this thesis is analyzing potential security risks of the SAP NetWeaver platform and identifying various vulnerabilities, that are results of poor system configuration, incorrect segregation of duties or insufficient patch management. Methodology for platform evaluation is defined by vulnerabilities, security requirements and controls will be created.
